    And I guarantee some organization will figure out how to use this for some police state bullshit.

      That’s already the original use case. Cardiac signature biometrics, can install in a doorway and do identity verification and track/monitor every individual that passes through the threshold

        People do not have that distinct cardiac ECG profiles, and it would be wrong after one coffee.

        Holy shit the US state paranoia in the sub. Buy more guns.

            The article you cite states that accuracy drops to 60% if the enrollment and testing data were collected at different sessions. I imagine the effects of coffee or walking on heart rate would make that even worse.
